ISBN-13: 9781859841624, 978-1859841624. "Love of the land is not located so much in the mind, or in the heart, as in the skin: how the skin feels when you go back.". -Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Red Dirt. When the peasants are deprived of fields to work, so goes the chorus of an old Irish ballad, "All that's left is a love of the land.".

About this product

Product Information

Drawing on the stories she heard in her early years, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz explores the lives of poor rural whites in the USA who are often the backbone of the national campaigns against abortion and for prayer in school. They are also the soldiers of the militia movement and staunch critics of the US government. This book aims to take the reader into the minds of this group of people in order to understand their faith and sense of loss.
